Limitless: Confession Time




Romans 10: 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Okay Christian,  it's confession time.  No,  please don't comment your sins below...it would take way too long to read through all those comments.  Not to mention how depressing it would be fore most of us.  It's Christ confession time.  I've noticed a trend in the "Christian realm today.  We're happy to go to concerts and lift our hands and sing.  We're excited to sit in small group and "be real" with the church people.  But throw a Christian in the middle of a group of strangers who obviously don't have a relationship with Jesus, and that girl from small group who always "just wants to share and be transparent" is totally silent.  

Whoa!  What happened?  We went from "please shut that girl up...there's no way God said that much to her while she was having her devo's at Starbucks" to lucky if she hands them an invite card to church for fear of being mocked or looked at funny. I think the major reason most of the world is skeptical of our faith is because most of us are silent about it. 

I'm not telling you that in order to be saved you must visit Jehovah's Witness training camp and ask everyone you meet if they know where they would spend eternity if they died today.  There's no magic number of doors you have to knock to level up your faith.  We don't confess Christ in order to be saved,  we confess Christ BECAUSE we're saved.  

I believe a major breakdown in the American church is those who believe "in" Christ and those who believe "on" Christ.  It's easy to spot which side of the equation most people are on based on their level of embarrassment when they see the pastor in public.  Believers are not limited by the stares of the skeptics or the cackle of the cynic.  #WeAreLimitless
